Collection: Draeger Gas Detection

The Dräger Sampling Tubes and Systems are very reliable in use even with complex compounds and mixtures of substances.

Benefits

Accurate and reliable results

• The hazardous substances in the air are collected using a suitable medium – such as activated charcoal, silica gel or molecular sieves. The sample is then analyzed in a laboratory with the aid of instrumental analysis. The sampling process is conducted either actively with a manual Dräger accuro or automatic Dräger-Tube pump X-act 5000, or passively via a diffusion sampler.

Suitable for complex cases

• The Dräger Sampling Tubes and Systems allow to identify and measure different substances even under difficult conditions. This applies especially to very complex mixtures of substances or cases in which several similar substances are present at the same time.

Advantages of passive sampling

• Low price since no additional sampling equipment is required
• Long-term sampling does not require any preparation of the room
• Low determination and detection limits
• Fluctuations of concentration are integrated into the measurement result
• Overview measurements as well as surveillance of limit values

Advantages of active sampling

• Accumulation of substances in large amount of air within short time
• Low determination and detection limits

The automatic tube pump Dräger X-act 5000 is the first all-in-one solution designed for measurements with Dräger short-term tubes and for sampling tubes and systems. Ease of operation and a high degree of reliability compliment the measurement and sampling of gases, vapors and aerosols.

Benefits

Versatile and robust

• The Dräger X-act 5000 introduces a new era of gas measurement: Only one device is necessary for measuring and sampling. The automatic tube pump is compatible with Dräger short-term tubes as well as sampling tubes and systems.
• The robust housing supports the use of the pump to perform the daily measuring tasks under tough conditions. The IS approved (pending) Dräger X-act 5000 can be used for confined space applications and in explosive gas atmospheres.

New pump concept

• The key principle is the ability to provide the required flow characteristics of the Dräger Short-term Tubes, while also providing the option to be used with Sampling Tubes and Systems requiring constant flow. Compared to the Dräger accuro hand pump, this new concept reduces the average measurement time of the Dräger Short-term Tubes in case of a high number of strokes. The internal pump is also designed to use extension hoses up to a length of 30 meters (98 ft.).

Simplicity of operation

• The handling of gases, vapors and aerosols has never been easier. The automatic tube pump Dräger X-act 5000 directs the air to be measured through the appropriate Dräger-Tubes effortlessly. It is comfortably carried with one hand or using the shoulder strap and is easily operated, even wearing protective gloves. A simple and intuitive menu structure provides the user efficient operation with just a few button presses. Using the password-protected menu repetitive operating modes can be set.

Automatic transfer of measurement parameters

• A barcode printed on the label on the backside of a Dräger Short-term Tube box contains all relevant measurement parameters. Simply sliding the barcode over the barcode reader of the pump, automatically transfers the name of the substance to be measured, the number of strokes, and the measuring range to the display. The required steps to carry out the measurement are simplified with the Dräger X-act 5000 and the possibility of making an error is reduced to a minimum.

Measurement in technical gases

• To evaluate measurements in technical gases, the properties of the technical gas must be taken into consideration. Technical gases have a different viscosity than ambient air. Therefore, the flow of the pump must be set accordingly. Following the operating steps in the mode „Measurement in Technical Gases“, the Dräger X-act 5000 will automatically be adjusted to the required flow parameter and the measurement result can be read directly.

Direct settings for sampling

• Depending on the Sampling Tubes or Systems, the required parameters for the test can be set directly, without the need for an external flowmeter. The Dräger X-act 5000 automatically adjusts the flowrate. After setting the sampling time the pump can immediately be started. At the end of the measurement the pump will stop automatically. The set data, the elapsed time and the pumped volume will be indicated on the display.

The Dräger X-am® 2500 was especially developed for use as personal protection. The 1 to 4 gas detector reliably detects combustible gases and vapours, as well as O2, CO, NO2, SO2 and H2S. Reliable and fully mature measuring technology, durable sensors and easy handling guarantee a high degree of safety with extremely low operating costs.

Benefits

Durable electrochemical sensors

• Fully developed, high performance Dräger sensors in an extra small format for CO, H2S, O2, SO2 and NO2 gases enable safe use in industry, mining and in refineries. The impressive hydrogen sulphide sensor has a high resolution, so it can reliably measure even very low workplace limits. The non-consumptive and lead-free sensor for oxygen is characterized by an especially long service life of more than 5 years. Our CO and H2S sensors also have this long service life expectation, so they contribute to especially low operating costs.

Poison resistant ex sensor

• The innovative, catalytic Ex sensor is im- pressive due to its high resistance to silicone and hydrogen sulphide. Together with the high degree of drift stability, this resistance enables an extraordinarily long service life of more than 4 years. Its sensitivity with regard to flammable gases and vapours is tested in accordance with the technical approval for measuring IEC/EN 60079-29-1 from methane to nonane. This approval also demonstrates the suitability of this instrument for primary explosion protection, e.g. for use in refineries and in the chemical industry.

Maximum safety

• The Dräger X-am 2500 has Ex approval for zone 0, so it is clearly designed for very high user safety in areas subject to explosion hazard. The functional design ensures that gas can enter from above and from the side – even if the instrument is inside a pocket or if the front gas entry is accidentally covered.

Maintenance: fast, easy, inexpensive

• From functional test to complete documentation, users have access to practical solutions that provide safety for implementation at any time. The Dräger Bump Test Station, which does not require a local power source, and the automatic Dräger X-dock testing and calibration station for comprehensive equipment management are ideal system additions that save time and effort. Together with the Dräger X-dock, the high quality Dräger sensors enable quick bump tests of 8 to 15 seconds1 with very low gas consumption. This significantly reduces your equipment operating costs.

With standard sensors: CH4, O2, CO, H2S

Diffusion or pump

• For clearance measurements for tanks and shafts or when searching for leaks, an optional external pump with a hose up to 30 m long is the optimum solution. The pump starts automatically when the measuring instrument is inserted in the external pump. The switch from diffusion to pump operation can be handled quickly and easily without tools or screws.

Ergonomic and robust

• Thanks to its low weight and ergonomic design, the Dräger X-am 2500 offers a high degree of wearing comfort. The practical 2008two button control panel and easy menu navigation allow the instrument to be used intuitively, despite its comprehensive functionality. The integrated protective rubber coating and sensors that are not sensitive to shock provide additional safety in case of impacts or vibrations. More-over, the Dräger X-am 2500 is not sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, e.g. from wireless devices. The Dräger X-am 2500 is water and dust resistant in accordance with protection class IP67, so it remains fully functional even if it falls into the water.

Reliable power supply

• The Dräger X-am 2500 can operate with either alkaline batteries or with rechargeable NiMH batteries. This enables a reliable power supply for more than 12 hours, and with the high capacity battery pack more than 13 hours. Depending on the requirements, the batteries can be charged either in the workshop or in a vehicle. Operating time without Ex sensor is typically more than 250 hours.
